PostCARds

Let yourself be transported by this little book featuring the finest postcards from France during Les Trente Glorieuses, the postwar period filled with optimism, dynamism, creativity, and glory. The arrival of television, the refrigerator, the Citroën DS, the Caravelle, the highways... Father with a cigar at the wheel and Mother anxiously watching the road, an argument in the back seat, and a hat on the parcel shelf.

In this book, M. Carpedi presents the finest postcards from his extensive collection. The central theme: cars from the period between 1945 and 1975! Back then, they happened to end up in the photos as casually parked props along the curb - today, every one of them is a classic!

Extra fun: almost all the old postcards feature a QR code. Scan it to see what the place where the photographer stood years ago looks like today!

The texts in the book are in Dutch, French, and English.
